| Message | *the proposer rises, a portly chap with a rather nice three piece pin-stripe suit* Your Majesty, *self importantly, jiggling jowls and that sort of thing* It has been known for some time by historians that the original name of our most revered and dignified of institutions, the Imperial Council, is in fact 'Imperial Diet'. With the permission of Your Grace, we the Linen and Pimm's Party beg humbly to restore our institution to its proper title. *slight bow, hindered by bulbous stomach* |

| Message | Mr speaker, I must remind our honourable friend that we are the lower house. By all means call the other place "Imperial Senate", but this house is not a senate. I yield the floor. |
